Fresh Fiction Review

Bad Island
Doug Tennapel

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little
Posted September 7, 2011

Young Adult | Graphic Novel

The comic takes the reader immediately into two, seemingly unconnected, stories. The two stories turn out to be related in a surprising way later on. There are two different planets involved, the first is much older and the civilization is symbiotic, they depend on each other. There are Giants and then Little People, the Little People help maintain the Giants' armor and in return the Giants helped free the Little People. The Little People's Slavers return to try to capture them, the Giant Prince fights back and is captured. This occurrence has severe consequences on the next part of the story.

The story involves a family heading off on a boating trip, none of the members but the father are too enthusiastic...nonetheless, the others are all forced to go. They hit bad luck fairly quickly and crash on an island...none of them can imagine what will happen next-the comic is aptly named.

This comic is very captivating because the ideas utilized are so unusual-the reader will be sure to pay attention the whole time. The characters are interesting, funny, and different. The events are quick and keep the characters on their toes. This book has no need for a sequel-another rare quality among comics. This comic would be enjoyed by comic book, horror, and mystery fans.

SUMMARY

Something on this island is up to no good . . .

When Reese is forced to go on a boating trip with his family, the last thing he expects is to be shipwrecked on an island-especially one teeming with weird plants and animals. But what starts out as simply a bad vacation turns into a terrible one, as the castaways must find a way to escape while dodging the island's dangerous inhabitants. With few resources and a mysterious entity on the hunt, each secret unlocked could save them . . . or spell their doom. One thing Reese knows for sure: This is one Bad Island.
